I Remember! Rhyme Time Stories: Poems for Children Young and Old
Carol L Simpson
Paperback
(Dialogue House Publications, March 9, 2016)
The first in a new series called Rhyme Time Storytellers books, this 8.5” x 8.5” children’s book contains eight delightful poems in large print and is ideal for new young readers. Carol Simpson tells her childhood recollections in little rhyming vignettes. The easy rhythms make it a perfect read-sing-song-along and enable easy memorization. Large letters and small words are eventually recognized and before you know it your child is reading with ease. The whimsical illustrations will make him or her laugh aloud with glee. With everything seen through the magical lens only a child knows best, there are moral lessons learned, fears assuaged, pets and furry toys lost and found, a tooth pulled by Daddy and a baby sister rescued in the nick of time. If your little one loves Dr. Seuss and you loved Robert Louis Stevenson’s A Child’s Garden of Verses or A. A. Milne’s The World of Christopher Robin: The Complete When We Were Very Young and Now We Are Six (Winnie-the-Pooh) then this book is for you and your little one. Stories are told and retold but poems remains in our memories forever. This book may also inspire your child to begin creating his or her own poems with the early skills acquired by reading simple and fun poetry aloud together.
